About
Dr. Lorenzo Peluso is a leading cardiovascular researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. His primary focus lies in comparing the clinical and economic outcomes of robotic-assisted versus traditional minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Dr. Peluso’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic mitral valve surgery, despite higher upfront costs, can be cost-effective when accounting for reduced complications and shorter recovery times, a finding critical for hospital resource allocation. His 2024 propensity score–matched analysis, with 4 citations, is a foundational study in this area, providing robust evidence on early postoperative outcomes. Additionally, Dr. Peluso has pioneered the use of preoperative biomarkers like Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) to predict prolonged catecholamine use after surgery, offering a novel, low-cost tool for risk stratification. His work, which has garnered over 8 citations in a short period, directly informs surgical decision-making and patient management. By blending rigorous statistical methods with practical clinical insights, Dr. Peluso is helping to define the next generation of evidence-based, patient-centered cardiac care.
